An interesting story out of Oklahoma where the state football
semifinals were put on hold so a judge can decide who will play in
them.

OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) — An Oklahoma judge says a high school
football semifinal will not be played Friday so he can consider
whether a team that lost in the quarterfinals is entitled to a
replay.
Locust Grove’s Class 3A semifinal against Heritage Hall was
postponed until next week at the earliest.
The little school from northeastern Oklahoma beat Oklahoma City’s
Douglass High last week after game officials misapplied a penalty
with about a minute to go. The crew mistakenly erased a touchdown
that had given Douglass a 25-20 lead.
The state board that oversees high school athletics rejected a
Douglass protest Wednesday, so the school went to court
Thursday.
Douglass wants to replay the entire game or the final minute. The
judge said he wouldn’t rule on Douglass’ complaint until next
week.

North Kitsap senior T.J. Jensen and North Mason senior Daniel
Burggraaf were named co-MVPs for Olympic League 2A football earlier
this week. Coaches met on Wednesday to vote on the all-league
teams. The full list of selections hasn’t been released yet.
Jensen, who leads North Kitsap (10-0) against Hockinson on Saturday
in the first round of the Class 2A state tournament, had 86 tackles
on defense for the Vikings. Offensively, Jensen rushed for 600
yards and three touchdowns while adding 173 receiving yards and
three more scores.
Burggraaf led North Mason (4-6) to a third-place finish in the
Olympic League and a district playoff berth. A receiver/defensive
back, Burggraaf had 582 receiving yards and five touchdowns, while
posting 75 tackles, two interceptions and three fumble recoveries
on defense.
Burggraaf also served as punter, kicker, kick returner and punt
returner for the Bulldogs.
